Answer»

LET the daily wage of 1 man and 1 WOMEN be a and b respectively.

Given, 4 men and 6 women get Rs. 2400 by doing a piece of work in 5 days.

∴ 4a + 6b = 2400/5 = 480

Also, 3 men and 7 women get Rs. 2760 by doing the same work in 6 days.

∴ 3a + 7b = 2760/6 = 460

On solving these two equation, we get a = 60, b = 40.

Let the number of days for which 7 men and 6 women have to work so that they get Rs. 5280 be d days.

⇒ 7 × 60 + 6 × 40 = 5280/d

⇒ 660 = 5280/d

⇒ d = 8 days
